We went to the Windy City for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, to visit Toots and my best friend from high school, Andrea (and her hubs – E’s good friend from law school). It was so much fun!! They just moved to a really amazing building in a great part of town, close to Navy Pier and only couple blocks away from Michigan Ave shopping and tons of the great restaurants. We went for lots of long walks around the city, did some shopping, did plenty of eating (including ice cream – WOO HOO! and Chicago style pizza), we visited the children’s museum at Navy Pier (and had our stroller stolen… and then we found it… haha!), Andrea and I got pedicures at the Red Door Salon, we took the kids out for a nice dinner – where I discovered that Jack loves polenta, and had breakfast with Toot’s Grandma and Grandpa (Andrea’s Mom and Dad – who I haven’t seen in ages).
Jack did really well on the plane on the way up there and on the way home. Well, he was a little bit of a handful on the way up there, but he was a pro by the time we came home. His schedule was a little out of whack… and his sleeping/napping was a little difficult, but overall he did really well. I was very impressed with how flexible a child he is, considering how rigid I have been with his schedule. It was a great time and we can’t wait for our next visit!!
Looks like it was super fun…I am jealous! I have to get both kids over there soon. Glad Jack was so good for you…and I always say it but he looks SO MUCH older these days. And always adorable! :)
Sounds like a great time, the pictures say the same :) I was beginning to wonder if you ditched us, but then remembered you saying you had a busy, busy schedule coming up!!
Thanks for coming we had a great time!
glad you had fun..
I love Chicago, it actually reminds me of Toronto a bit but without Oprah.
